Finally, it feels like fall and that is just the perfect weather for school in my opinion. Over the last month students have done a great job of getting to know the classroom, the school and each other. Now that they're feeling much more comfortable we can begin our academic pursuits in earnest.
Important reminders for this week:
This week in reading we continue to read expository texts, discuss our understanding of the text and use text features to better understand what we are reading. This week we will focus more on magazine and newspaper articles. Writing At the end of last week students moved from pre-writing to drafting their first published piece of writing. We are using google docs to type our drafts. This week we will continue to discuss and participate in the writing process moving our first pieces from drafting, to revising, to editing, to published. Number Corner October's number corner focuses on a review of equivalent fractions and money. We will also play a game to review multi-digit addition and subtraction to the millions. Science Last week our crayfish arrived, and much to our great sadness only 3 managed to live through their first night. Fortunately, the company is sending us more this week and we will begin our investigation of crayfish structures. Book Study Our book study focus continues to be a whole class reading of Earthquake Terror by Peg Kehert. This week we focus on how readers keep track of and use important events in the story in order to better understand and summarize the plot. Spelling Words this week: Double Vowel Sounds: -oa and -oe
